[SC-Help] Re: Spammers getting smarter?

[Jeff]

In the very unusual situation that a spam needs to be opened, it can be
opened in OE6 without rendering html by configuring to read as plaintext
in OE/ Tools/ Options/ Read tab - check read messages in plaintext.  You
can also toggle OE to go offline by putting an online/offline toggle in
your toolbar, or by using File/ Work Offline to prevent webbug access if
you are rendering spams for some reason in spite of my opinion.  Your
preview function should be disabled in OE/ View/ Layout - Preview Pane -
uncheck Show preview pane.  The other configuration that some people use
is in OE/ Tools/ Options/ Security - check do not allow attachments to
be opened or saved.  Those of us who don't open spam or virms can be
configured differently than those who do.

The problem with doing that is I noticed after I did disable HTML in 
e-mails, e-mails don't load right for legitmate ones.  I get ones from 
Yahoo! Groups everyday and its necessary for those to have HTML required.  I 
also view the pictures in the preview window so I can't turn that off 
either.  Those two solutions/suggestions aren't practical for me to use.
